Rafa Benitez Newcastle United Manager.

I agree with you. Benitez is better than Avram Grant.

Yeah I think so too,I like Grant but he isn't cutting it with West Ham,might be a better No.2
Rafa could be good for West Ham,doubt he would come though I'm sure there are bigger clubs who could offer him more.

Quare amount of fellas on here haven't much of a clue about soccer it seems.

Rafa is a decent manager I can't see how that would even be up for debate,things aren't going his way at the moment much in the same way soccer teams themselves have rough patches but he has already proven himself to be a top manager,his record speaks for itself or do some of ye armchair fans reckon because you are a ace at Championship Manager on the Playstation that you could do better?I am a West Ham fan and I would certainly love him to come to Upton Park as Boss.

Or alternatively if you are a United fan you know everything and your opinion is all that counts/matters.

I expect he'll get a club closer to his home in Murkeydive. Blackburn the most likely at present if his reported severance contract allows him to work immediately.

Ah come on now. You have to appreciate that United fans are used to the greatest manager in the history of British soccer for the last 20+ years so their standards are bound to be unrealistically high.

Jaysis I'd like to think the Hammers are a more attractive option than Blackburn,despite our lowly position atm..

Only reason he'd take that job is to wind Fat Sam up

I'm glad you said 20+ years and didn't try and put in him in the same bracket as the greatest ever, Bob Paisley

True, and this Liverpool fan thinks Ferguson is the greatest of them all. Between 1966 and the present day, the Scotish championship has been won by a non-Old Firm team on four occassions. Three of them were by the Aberdeen managed by Alex Ferguson. His record with Man U speaks for itself. He'll be impossible to replace. Fun and games ahead!

Jim McClean being the other?

I'd love to see Rafa back in charge at Liverpool. Woy is boring.

To be honest I can't wait until he retires for a few reasons. He is the best around and I think the Club will hit a bit of turmoil when he leaves as different managers struggle to win over players/fans. . . they will not be able to handle another manager and will judge them by previous standards which is of course ludicrous but can't be helped in todays culture.

I also think that a club that has had so much integrity in the Premier League while other teams seem to be a revolving door for managers will fall into that trap due to supporter expectation. . . I'm sooo excited I can't wait until that day arrives!!!!
